Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Does the window have to be up for them to fit? I can get my paddle board back there with the tailgate down and the window still shuts/locks securely. Otherwise try and get something soft between window and whatever it is hitting and strap it down like @wilder-ness said.

 

One kayak fits with the door closed, with two i cant close the door. I was thinking some hose clamps on the gas struts to lock it open. (To prevent it from slamming down on the kayaks).

Of course my load shal be secured

 

Can you remove the window? Can’t remember if they are simple to remove but would be the easiest solution.

 

Pretty sure it's just a few screws.

 

Hell ya you did! Glad to see you drinking real beer too! Lol

 

Theres 2 screws in each hinge, they go into the fiberglass "frame" of my "frame-less window". I think imma go try to take it off and see if thats an option. Im a little sketch on the idea because... well its fiberglass and im sure THAT will be the time that i strip/cross thread something lol

#yolo ?

 

Why not just lay some foam pool noodles on the roof and strap the yaks to the top...

 

I feel like id crush my shit? strapping them down all tight like.

Buddy always suggested i buy the foam blocks for my cab to hold me over until i get my roof rack, but im not comfortable with that at all. You know if i damaged something up there from my excessive load-securing i would never forgive myself lol

 

I'd strap the long one to the shell rather than to the cab personally. Then put the short one in the bed... But I hear what you're sayin. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

 

Always appreciate advice!

I can get the window off pretty easily, looks like the studs are in the fiberglass, so all i gotta do i back the nuts/lockwashers off and its off. No messing with the fiberglass (assuming i dont over tighten )

The little C-Clips on the gas struts tho... pain in the ass right there lol

I only did one side (just now) and 99% of that time was trying to get that dammed C-clip back on.

Edit: Would have been nice if i checked before asking, but it was dark and i was brainstorming lol. Would have rather left it on the truck of course, but better to take it off than to have it break.

 

Use a little flathead to move the clip just enough to pop the strut off the ball stud. Don't need to take the clip off completely.

 

7th? WTF?

 

He's a nut. Did 4 in the Marine Corps and the other 4 in the NG

Jeez. I only ride Bart because I hate driving downtown for work sometimes. But I’d hate it more to sit in a urine stained seat... I’ll be standing here on out.
